You need libplacebo. I tested it with Intel VAAPI. If you have problmes with the shaders then copy the drirc file in your home directory as .drirc

Unfortunatly older FFMEGs has a bug with deinterlacing cuda frames. Best to get the latest FFMPEG Version.
Otherwise you have to patch the file in libavcodec/cuviddec.c
Somewhere near line 860 and 1066 depending on your release:
old:
ctx->frame_queue = av_fifo_alloc(ctx->nb_surfaces * sizeof(CuvidParsedFrame));
new:
ctx->frame_queue = av_fifo_alloc((ctx->nb_surfaces + 2 ) * sizeof(CuvidParsedFrame));

At the moment this is Work in progress.
It also needs the NVIDIA driver 410.48 or newer as well as CUDA 10. It also needs the NVIDIA driver 410.48 or newer as well as CUDA 10.
In the settings you can enable a correction for Colorblindness. First you have to decide what kind of colorblindness to use. And then the faktor of correction. If the faktor is negativ than the selected type of colorblindness is simulated. If the faktor is positiv then the colors are enhanced to try to correct the deficiency. I recommend to use libplacebo. It has much better scaler and does colorconversion for HDR the correct way.
Also you can enable a Scaler Test feature. When enabled then the screen is split.On the left half you will see the scaler defined by Scaler Test and on the right side you will see the scaler defined at the Resolution setting. There is as small black line between the halfs to remaind you that Scaler Test is activ. If your FFMEG supports it then you can enable YADIF in the Makefile and select between the buildin NVIDIA CUDA deinterlacer and the YADIF cuda deinterlacer.

Quickstart: Quickstart:
----------- -----------
Just type make and use. You have to adapt the Makefile. There are 3 possible Version that you can build:
softhdcuvid
This is for NVIDA cards and uses cuvid as decoder. It uses xcb for output and needs a X Server to run.
softhdvaapi
This is for INTEL cards and uses Vaapi as decoder. It uses xcb for output and needs a X Server to run.
softhddrm
This is for INTEL cards and also uses Vaapi as decoder. It uses the DRM API for output and
runs without X Server. There are several commandline options to select the resolution and refresh rate.

Beginners Guide for libplacebo:
-------------------------------
When using libplacebo you will find several config options.
First of all you need to set the right scaler for each resolution:
Best you beginn with setting all to "bilinear". If that works ok for you, you can try to change them for more advanced scaler. I use ewa_robidouxsharp on my GTX1050, but your mileage may vary. Unfortunatly on INTEL not all scalers may work or crash.
You can enable a Scaler Test feature. When enabled then the screen is split.On the left half you will see the scaler defined by Scaler Test and on the right side you will see the scaler defined at the Resolution setting. There is as small black line between the halfs to remaind you that Scaler Test is activ.
Then you should set the Monitor Colorspace to "sRGB". This guarantees you the best colors on your screen.
At the moment all calculations internaly are done in RGB space and all cards output also RGB.
If you are colorblind you could try to remedy this with the Colorblind Settings. Realy only needed in rare cases.
All other settings can be in their default state.
